Interviewer: "In your expert opinion Mr Mulrooney (sp?), are they in fact a cult?"
Interviewee: "Yes, Jehovah's Witnesses definitely fit the description of a cult, despite their denials. A cult always has a strong central figure demanding absolute authority. They even admit in the Proclaimer's Book that a cult developed around Charles Taze Russell, their founder.
Narrator: "Charles Taze Russell was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania in 1852. From age 11 he worked in the family clothing store and he became a successful businessman. At age 17 he came under the influence of the Early Second Adventists, who were setting dates for the end. He soon broke ties with the Adventists and launched out on his own, publishing the magazine now known as 'The Watchtower'. His following grew, but trouble was brewing on the home front".
Narrator: "In 1906 after a number of marital battles, Russell was divorced from his wife Maria. Instead of sharing his personal assets with her, he transferred them to the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society which he totally controlled. The Proclaimer's Book mentions this transfer in a tiny footnote, but we don't read the obvious there: Pastor Russell had cheated his wife. The Proclaimer's Book makes the repeated point that Pastor Russell was not found guilty of adultery, this was true only because his wife did not bring charges of adultery against him - instead she accused him of immorality with a young girl who was residing in their home".
Maria: "It was late in the evening, about eleven o'clock, he put his arms around her and kissed her. This was in the vestibule before they entered the hall, and he called her 'his little wife' - but she said 'I am not your wife', and he said 'I will call you daughter, and a daughter has nearly all the privileges of a wife'".
Questioner: "And what other terms were used?"
Maria: "Then he said: 'I am like a jellyfish, I float around here and there, I touch this one and that one; and if she responds I take her to me, and if not I float on to others'. And she wrote that out so that I could remember it for sure when I would speak to him about it, and he confessed that he had said those things".
Narrator: "Why would The Proclaimer's Book say that Maria Russell was seeking prominence for herself, when in reality the court stated: 'He says himself that she is a woman of perfect moral character, and his own testimony is a strong confirmation of her allegations'. The judgment described his behaviour as cruel and barbarous treatment, adding: 'His course of conduct toward his wife evidenced such insistent egotism and self-praise that would necessarily render the life of any sensitive Christian woman a burden, and make her condition intolerable'".
Speaker: "I was surprised to find out many strange things about Pastor Russell when I did independent research on him. Here in the finished 'Mystery Book' he taught that the churches of Christendom were started by bald-headed men with smoke on their brains. He thought that if a dog's head were shaped like a man's the dog could think like a man. He gave health advice that was pure quackery - for example he taught that appendicitis was caused by fighting worms in the colon. He sold so-called 'miracle wheat' at greatly inflated prices to his gullible followers. None of these things are brought out in the Proclaimer's Book".......

By your definition mentioned they are not a cult. There is no "central figure demanding absolute authority." Ask someone who knows what they are talking about.
Sure there's a "central figure demanding absolute authority". They call it "The Faithful and Discreet Slave". That it is a group of people rather than an individual is but a matter of semantics--the fact remains that this entity is the one and only conduit for the will of God.

Thanks greatly for the upload!
Then exactly what is the Pope for Catholics?
Jehovah's witnesses a cult? this video is complete BULLSHIT!!!!
This video was okay. It probably would have been better without the MacGregor chick, whose ridiculous overacting makes her impossible to take seriously. Also, I think that there are better ways to attack the WT organisation than by attacking the character of C.T. Russell. The "jellyfish story" is very old news--the Watchtower itself admitted to it way back in 1959 in the Divine Purpose book. Most Witnesses couldn't tell you the first thing about Russell, and wouldn't care. Subjects like disfellowshiping and higher education would seem more relevant today. Still, this is a decent video, and I do really appreciate the upload. Thanks!
thanks for the up, ive been studying alot about them. Keep the movies comin : )
I was raised in this religion and I no longer go to the kingdom hall and kind of stumbled upon this file looking for something else. I will watch it. I am pretty open-minded and everyone is entitled to their opinion. But personally in my experience, I did not view the Jehovah's Witnesses as a cult. In that context you could say most religions are a cult by the description of one outlined here such as buddhism, catholism, as well as muslims. But others don't view it as such. I think perhaps the definition of a cult may be a little off in the description of this video. I however do not agree with their rules of disfellowshipping. My bf was disfellowshipped for smoking pot and they told me I could not even talk to him or see him. That is about when I stopped going... Anyway I will be interested to see what the video is like that you have posted. There is very little information given about Charles Taze Russell from the Watchtower Society so I'd be interested to see what they say. So far might be a while til I get to watch it...1 seeder and it says 3 days to download shit.
rofl!8 million baptised wittnesses(as unlike christendom they dont baptise children,so the figure could be alot higher if they included non baptised children and adults in that figure, but statistics arent important to them)and you call it a cult!Get an education you bigot!!
